Recenzii
'Long simply reviled for the abominable crime of tampering with Shakespeare, the Restoration's approach to Shakespeare in performance is ripe for re-assessment. This excellent collection explores the complexities of a theatre culture radically different from Shakespeare's own and yet in many ways intriguingly continuous with ours.' Peter Holland, University of Notre Dame
'This unique combination of scholarship with practical theatrical and musical experience will be enjoyable reading for anyone interested in how theatre is made, and useful as well for anyone devising research projects that attempt to combine the expertise of scholars and theatre practitioners. Instead of treating the Davenant Macbeth and the Dryden-Davenant Tempest as travesties of Shakespeare, the contributors provide historical and critical contexts for both texts and music, consider how they can be performed for a modern audience, and describe (often amusingly) the workshops, rehearsals and performance that reveal the complexity of the process of 'recreation'.' Lois Potter, University of Delaware
